Grand Voyager Cruise Ship Bigger Better Faster

Saturday, June 2, 2007

We’ve seen what happens to marine mammals that cross paths with bigger and faster ships. Now we can see what happens when one of these bigger and faster ships crosses paths with a hostile sea.

The Grand Voyager is said to be one, if not the, fastest ships on the ocean. She may be able to travel up to 28 knots, but she wasn’t able to escape what the ocean had in store for her on Valentines Day 2005. It certainly wasn’t a bed of roses for her on this day.

This is a grueling 3 1/2 minutes of film.

This clip shows how it doesn’t matter how high up something may be on the chain…there is always something higher.

We will be searching for more interesting video having to do with the ocean for our week-end entries.

Wishing you smooth sailing!
